A: It’s likely that most students will be away at some point. If you miss the deadline for sharing your art in the class galleries, you’re welcome to share in the class Facebook group for peer feedback. All Live reviews will be added to the classroom as a replay.

Q: Do I need any special materials?

A: The course looks at art using a variety of media. We encourage you to try new things, so it is up to you. Use any materials you like – digital or traditional.

A: As with all MATS classes, it’s possible to complete the entire course using traditional techniques (painting, drawing, etc.), but if you wish to complete the assignments digitally you’ll need basic knowledge of Photoshop or Illustrator. Photograph or scan in your assignments to showcase your work at its best.
